This vibrant orange and balsamic glazed salmon is a fantastic choice for a heart-healthy main course. The sharp sweetness of the balsamic vinegar pairs beautifully with the citrus notes, creating a rich glaze that elevates the natural oils of the fish. Fresh rosemary and garlic add a fragrant, savoury depth that makes this dish feel truly indulgent while remaining remarkably light.

Ideal for a quick midweek dinner or a sophisticated weekend lunch, these salmon steaks are best served alongside steamed seasonal greens or a crisp watercress salad.
